Q: I have a yard with these super thin weeds, or spindle "grass seed", for lack of better terms that grow about 8 to 10 inches high. I have a cheap reel mower that I thinking about replacing because when I mow, the mower leaves these long thing behind me. It just folds them under. Will this lawn mower get these weeds or is this just a pipe dream? Thanks a Million. by Brad Martin from Indiana on August 02, 2011
A: Brad - None of the reel mowers that we carry are going to handle any type of weed or grass that is 8 to 10 inches in length. This type of vegetation is just too long for a reel mower. If you want to stick with a reel mower to maintain your yard, I would suggest a cordless electric string trimmer to keep the long, thin weeds under control. by Todd, Product Expert
Q: Hi Todd, Would you please tell me where the mower was made? Thanks. by Rik Snyder from South Carolina on June 06, 2011
I bought this based on many reviews, it's expensive and I am on SSD so this was a major outlay of cash for me.....very disappointed, here in the Southeast, it cut virtually nothing except clover. The height adjustment is a joke, infinite setting, which means you have to line it up carefully and precisely before tightening the knobs, no dedicated slots, which would have been an excellent idea for so pricey a mower.
I've used way less expensive reel mowers in the past, and gotten great results, so I am really amazed at this poor cutting, and difficult pushing, at any height!
Don't buy into the video, or else, I got a dud.

I give it a mixed review
I live in Phoenix and just re-landscaped my back yard, removing about 3/4ths of the grass I used to have. I decided to get rid of my old gas mower in favor of a reel push mower. With the new quiet mower, I could cut my lawn at first light which in Phoenix is about 5:45 AM in the summer without worrying about waking the neighbors. I now have about 700 square feet of tiffgreen. After reading your reviews, I chose the NaturCut 16040.
The lawnmower and bag were very easy to assemble and took me about 15 minutes. Then, it only took me about 12 minutes to cut the lawn and that was going over it three times to make it look good (twice length wise and once perpendicular). One of the problems I noticed immediately was that the mower is so light in weight that it seemed to "float" over the grass. I have learned to push down on the handle as I mow. Hence the reason for multiple passes.
The worst problem I have experienced was that on only the third mowing of the lawn, the left side wheel fell off! I took the red plastic cap off the hub of the wheel and saw that a retaining clip and washer had come off. I got a pair of pliers and slipped the clip back on and replaced the hubcap. I am not confident that the clip will stay on so I might be calling the service department soon. Otherwise, it seems to be a decent mower.

Like it
My husband assembled the handles quickly and we both tried it out. He thinks it is a good mower, but prefers the speed of a gas powered mower. I mowed yesterday and liked it. No, it's not fast like a gas powered mower, but if time is not an issue, why not use a quiet, efficient machine that makes a necessary task into a light workout?
